Who can describe the joys which rise
Among the blessed in paradise,
To see a prodigal return,
His father’s pardoning love to learn?
God doth his weeping child approve,
And welcome with paternal love;
Jesus, the Lord, with gladness sees
The purchase of his agonies.
The Spirit takes delight to view
The soul which he has formed anew;
And saints, and angels, join to sing
The growing empire of their King.
